Switch default console tty from /dev/console to /dev/constty

With this switch processes (such as xconsole) can open /dev/console
without breaking login on the text or serial console. This can be
trivially triggered by enabling xdm in rc.conf and hitting
Ctrl+Alt+F1 or equivalent once booted.

The changes:
- Add entry for /dev/console or /dev/constty if missing
- If a port's had /dev/console 'on' switch it off and enable /dev/constty
- If a port did not have /dev/console 'on', leave /dev/constty off

Some ports had /dev/console off and /dev/ttyE0 enabled, presumably to
avoid just this issue. It may make sense to adjust these also (but not
in this pass)

Add a constty entry, marked 'off', with otherwise the same settings
as the console. Now when coming up in single user mode the tset in
/.profile can set the terminal type correctly.
Note: I believe constty should be 'on' and console 'off', but thats a
separate discussion

Use "default" instead of "std.38400" for console and tty entries.
38400 doesn't seem to work well on 115200 baud consoles...


# 0553899e 20-Jun-2004 christos <christos@NetBSD.org>

remove ad-hok list of pty's from port tty files, and auto-generate it so
that it is consistent, and in the proper order.


# 5c2824bc 04-Oct-2003 dsl <dsl@NetBSD.org>

Revert 'console' back to /dev/console (from /dev/constty)


# e5217087 03-Oct-2003 dsl <dsl@NetBSD.org>

Change 'console' login to use /dev/constty so that its output isn't
stolen by code that requests system messages using TIOCCONS.
